Case Study: Google achieves $100,000–$200,000 in SOX compliance cost savings and 1,500–2,000 fewer admin hours with Quick Base

Google Manages SOX Compliance Efforts with Intuit QuickBase

Google, one of the world’s largest public companies, faced escalating Sarbanes‑Oxley (SOX) compliance challenges: dozens of internal and external auditors, fragmented single‑user spreadsheets, poor visibility and reporting, version‑control and security gaps, and the need for a scalable way to centralize and control compliance work without heavy IT overhead.

Google deployed Quick Base, a hosted, customizable application for centralized document and controls management with multi‑user access, version control, email notifications and easy data import. The solution was built and adopted rapidly, is used by 20+ auditors, and delivered significant ROI—an estimated $100,000–$200,000 in software/technology savings and roughly 1,500–2,000 fewer administrative man‑hours—while streamlining workflows, improving clarity and strengthening security.
